Five Fave Friday: Come-Back Edition

I'm blogging again, and it's Friday.  You know what that means.  Five Fave Friday in full effect!  Five Fave Friday is where I share my top 5 favorite things for the week, mostly things that I have found on the Internet. Most of these things can be found pinned to my Pinterest board of the same name here.  This week has brought me so many good things!  A new position at work, new friends, an awesome thunder-blizzard (you may not know it, but I LOVE snow), opportunities to invest in people, and a slightly clearer focus on this season of my life (because Christians love calling our life stages "seasons").  It has just been an all around amazing week, and it started so humbly.  Oh!  And I now have FOUR people following my little blog!  You guys are awesome.  I'm truly blessed.

This weeks five faves seem to have a lot to do with Youtube.  Here they are, in no particular order:

This little dude is just pure awesome.  It will make your day.  Be sure to subscribe to the Youtube Channel.  Thanks to my friend for sharing this with me.

The person who did this is a genius.

This is Willie Moore Jr. and he is hilarious.  This video is so funny, and it has a fantastic moral message.  Trust me.  Almost as good as Kid President.  Almost.  Be sure to subscribe to his Youtube Channel too.  Thanks to one of my other friends for sharing this one!

The final two things on my list are a couple of blog posts I read this week that just really gave me a huge change of perspective, and I absolutely love when that happens.  I enjoy being challenged and growing.  This one from Jon Acuff (of Stuff Christians Like and Quitter fame) made me take a step back and remember how madly I am loved by my Creator.  And this one from Relevant Magazine gave me a lot to think about where relationships are concerned.  Both of these are great reads, you won't regret it.

Stay tuned next week to see what random jewels I find to share with you!

Five Fave Friday: Saturday Edition

I know, I know...it's not Friday.  Sorry friends, I was too busy being awesome yesterday.  So here is Five Fave Friday...today!  Everything featured is pinned here.

I just found out I have been using bobby pins backward my whole life.

Kevin McAllister.  Who doesn't love this kid?  Classic holiday film.

So true.  No bigger turn off than incorrect spelling and grammar.

Jaba the Hupcake.  Ummm...winning!  

Chewie dog!  I must own him.

Five Fave Friday: Extreme Makeover Edition

Well, hello you guys!  You're probably looking around and thinking "Hmmm...something's different.  I just can't put my finger on it..."  I totally changed things up around here!  It was about time.  I taught myself some new graphic designs skills (it sounds more impressive than it really is, technically I don't think it could be called graphic design).  I am in love with the new header!  Isn't it adorbs?  I am so proud of my shiny, new blog.  Very basic, but...I made it myself!!!  What do you guys think?  Do you like the new header/color scheme?  I always love to hear from you.  Also...some things to chew on: I'm considering starting a weekly advice feature.  People come to me constantly for advice.  Not just friends, but total strangers too.  I'm a magnet for broken-hearted and lost people.  What are your thoughts?

Five Fave Friday

Here it is...another edition of Five Fave Friday!  I realize that this is just a cop-out and I promise I'll write something real very soon.  Pinky promise.

Adele is Cosmo's cover girl for the month of December.  She is absolutely flawless.  Yay for curvy girls!

Hahaha!

Mental Floss magazine is probably the best thing I have ever discovered.

Awesome temp tattoo from Fab.com.  Maybe stocking stuffers?

Talk about a throwback to my childhood.  How I do miss 3rd and 4th grade.

As always, everything is pinned here.

Five Fave Friday

I bet you thought I forgot, didn't you?  Well, I didn't!  I was too wrapped up in my Harry Potter marathon to concern myself with creating this post until I was finished.  I watched all 8 films, back to back.  This is going to be my new Thanksgiving tradition I think.  Also, in case any of you are wondering, I am so Team Harry & Hermione!  They should be together, J.K. Rowling!  Ok, now on with my purpose.  I was going to do a special Black Friday edition of Five Fave Friday, but I'm not really a Black Friday kinda girl.  So, here are my faves from the week of 11/8-11/25.  They are pinned here on Pinterest.  Enjoy!

HelloGiggles is on the list 2 weeks in a row!  They finally have their shop set up.  Yay!

I <3 Fred Savage.  Who doesn't?

Totes adorbs!  Trying it this weekend.

Hahahaha!  I would own this.  I think I'll make a bank that says "I'm saving up to buy a bank that says 'I'm savin' up to buy a unicorn'"

What can I say?  I love smart-ass people.  :-)

Hope you guys all had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

Five Fave Friday

Guys, I have a confession.  I spend more time on the internet than should be allowed by law.  I love the internet. It is such a wonderful tool that has opened up the entire world to us...even parts that probably shouldn't have been opened up.  So, since I spend so much time on here, I thought I would start a new weekly post called Five Fave Friday to share with all of you my five most favorite things I came across this week.  I even created a board on Pinterest for them.  So...without further ado, here are my five faves of the week.

I had no idea this guy was a celebrity, but his blog post melted my heart.

Chicken No-Peek.  Looks so yummy, can't wait to try it!

Muppet cupcakes!  Who wouldn't love these?  Can't wait for the new movie.

I tried this earlier in the week, and it worked!  All you do is leave a sock bun in your hair overnight.

This is such an awesome piece of art.
